More about Tenet-AZ Region
Pay on public postings lands roughly $33–41 an hour for ED RN work and $34–52 an hour for ICU Charge Nurse roles. New graduates are welcomed into the ED RN posting even though experience is preferred. On the DOU you stay at the bedside and may be asked to take charge for a shift; the ICU charge role is built around coordinating the unit, assigning care, and mentoring staff. Arizona is a compact-license state with a flat 2.5% state income tax, which keeps the paperwork and tax picture simpler if you are moving in. What you will not find spelled out here yet are firm ratios, an EHR name, or a formal residency—those details are still thin in the open postings.
Postings link Tenet-AZ Region roles to Abrazo Health Network with community-focused mission messaging.
